Individuals who reside in a country embargoed by the United States; Belgium, Norway, Sweden, or India are not permitted to enter.

I'm swedish, that's a shame I cant be apart of what they have to offer anymore (this incl) ...

Given that I went straight to the bundlelytic site:1) There is no mention on that site of any country restriction.2) It's not a Giveaway - you are paying for a product. Giveaways are clearly marked on the makeuseof.com site - which isn't this one.

Any restriction on the purchasing/use of the software should be made on the site that's selling it, you should not be expected to navigate to some other site to find the details.

BTW, I searched but can't find any mention of an embargo against Sweden. Threats but not an actual embargo - considering the USA Government would like to get their grubby little paws on Julian Assange after Sweden has finished with him, having an embargo would be counter-productive at this point.

It means that the residents of the countries that are currently placed under the US embargo are not permitted to participate in the giveaway because we will not be able to send the prize. Also residents of Belgium, Norway, Sweden, or India are exempt from participating.

You're not embargoed, just not permitted from participating in the giveaways, (which this isn't).

No such infos directly from bundlelytic fire sale but when visiting main page you'll see other offers and promotions,siteowner seems to be www.makeuseof.com and embargoed restrictions listed on every promotional offer at www.makeuseof.com

I asked them what the embargoed was all about and they ignored answering.. so I've unsubscribed

See my edit above, you're not actually embargoed - just not permitted to enter for the giveaways, which this isn't.

They haven't clarified why you're not permitted nor have they bothered clarifying the text at the bottom of any of their giveaways - this is pretty close to guilt by association AFAICS, and they should be made to clarify it.

Still, there's nothing stopping you from buying the bundle.

If it's a problem, PM me your name and email and I'll buy it for you - I live in Australia so it's no great hardship to donate to the flood

I'd just like to clarify that we're talking about several different things here.

1. The bundle -- which can be purchased by anyone. We will actually be launching the bundlelytic charity bundle for $49.99 on our site today. Use the code MUO5OFF to knock $10 off the price (valid for 500 uses) and can be purchased here: https://sites.fastsp...nt/bundlelyticbundle. Purchase of the bundle automatically enters you into the lucky draw -- OPEN to everyone.

2. MakeUseOf Giveaways -- We ONLY impose a restriction to participate in our giveaways (where you get free stuff) in accordance to Facebook's promotion guidelines 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 http://www.facebook....tions_guidelines.php. HOWEVER, the bundlelytic lucky draw is OPEN TO ANYONE who purchased a bundle, any bundle.

3. And finally, the mini bundle -- Again, these mini bundles are open to everyone to purchase and will be available from time to time. Our next mini-bundle will be online in a couple of days. Join the newsletter to be informed: tinyletter.com/bundlelytic or if you are a MUO subscriber, we will inform you via our newsletter.

IF you don't see the blue box regarding "Giveaway eligibility", you're free to participate.

I hope that helps clear up any doubts. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me personally at jackson@makeuseof.com
